Lord Aris

Lord Aris (1534-) was a French nobleman during the mid-16th century. In 1559, he invited Mary Fleming to accompany him on a boat ride, and Fleming sought to court him to see if he was the unknown lover mentioned in an unknown courtier's sex diary. However, Stephane Narcisse interrupted the conversation by congratulating Mary on the christening of her and King Francis II of France's son John Philip Valois-Angouleme, scaring off Aris, who feared that being involved with the King's mistress would cost him his life.
